This in vitro study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a CO(2) laser (10.6 microm) alone or combined with acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) on the inhibition of lesion progression in primary enamel. The specimens were treated with/without CO(2) laser and/or APF and submitted to pH cycling. Microhardness analysis was performed and the enamel mineral loss values were obtained. The groups treated with laser and/or APF presented lower mineral loss when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Laser irradiation alone or combined with APF decreased lesion progression in primary enamel. However, the combined treatment did not show any significant additional effect.
这项体外研究旨在评估二氧化碳激光（10.6微米）单独使用或与酸化磷酸氟（APF）联合使用对抑制乳牙釉质病变进展的疗效。对标本进行/不进行二氧化碳激光和/或APF处理，并进行pH循环试验。进行显微硬度分析并获得釉质矿物质损失值。与对照组相比，接受激光和/或APF治疗的组矿物质损失较低（p < 0.05）。单独使用激光照射或与APF联合使用可减少乳牙釉质病变的进展。然而，联合治疗并未显示出任何显著的额外效果。
